RAIL AND TRANSIT

APPLICATION

A transit wire is a tough, flame retardant construction ideally suited for rugged transportation industry applications. It has a high temperature rating yet will not crack at temperatures down. It is also more flexible and has better overload characteristics than fluoropolymers. Exane® transit wire has good moisture and oil resistance, excellent fire resistance, and low smoke and acid gas generation characteristics.
